• Surface water data (from Rule 2.04.7 (2) and 2.06.8 (3)). <br />Ground water data (from Rules 2.04.7 (1) and 2.06.8 (3)). <br />Operations and reclamation plan (from Rule 2.05.3 and 2.05.4). <br />Agricultural land use (from Bule 2.04.3 and 2.05.5). <br />The following discussion is divided into sia major subheadings: <br />Essential Hydrologic Punctions; Agricultural Significance; Potential <br />Material Damage; Effectiveness of Reclamation; and Enviro~ental <br />Monitoring. <br />The three subject areas, the floodplains of Foidel, Middle and <br />Fish Creeks, are historically or currently flood-irrigated. The <br />• essential hydrologic function of flood irrigation is supported by <br />surface water availability. The role of the alluvial valley floor <br />in collecting, storing, regulating and making surface water <br />available to agriculturally useful plants is dependent on the <br />following characteristics: 1) reliable source of water; 2) <br />diversion structures used for irrigation; 3) surface water quality <br />adequate for agricultural use. The floodplains are irrigated by <br />several adjudicated diversion ditches within the proposed permit and <br />adjacent area. Surface water quantity and quality is suitable to <br />support the essential hydrologic function of flood-irrigation, based <br />upon measurements and samples taken at DSGS Gaging Stations 09243900 <br />on Foidel Creek and 09243700 on Middle Creek, and Getty Gaging <br />Station 1003 on Fish Creek. <br />• <br />2.06-32 <br />
